Default c6 ZO6 rims

I am stongly considering ordering these rims for my 01 WS6. I am wanting to get 18x9.5 front and trying to find 18x10 or so for the rear. I want to have my front tires 275x35x18 and the rear 305x35x18. Does anyone know if anyone has those rims in that size or even if they are made in that size? Thanx

I don't know about the rims, but I don't think there are too many tires that come in a 305/35/18 size.....

There is almost a full inch difference in diameter with those sizs, the ABS MAY give you trouble, but maybe not. A closer size would be 305/30r18, that is only about half an inch of a difference.

I guess 285-35-18 then so I would be golden then RIGHT? Then I could simpley 18x9.5 all the way around... but with 275 in the front.

It WILL give you trouble and could even be dangerous if not disabled. Do not go more than 2-3% over on diameter.

The different tire diameters makes the computer think that the front and rear wheels are traveling at different speeds. Freaks out the ABS.
